Island Girl Salvage

NEW SALVAGE | REPURPOSED

Our Retail Location will be closed as of 6/28/09

We began this business for a number of different reasons;

A love of historical preservation

An appreciation of quality craftsmanship

Sadness at seeing so much architectural history disappearing;

Losing our corporate jobs;

With all of these reasons there is still one more reason that was a significant driving force in this endeavor, doing our part to keep as much material out of our landfills as we could.

The force with which the Green movement has taken off is incredibly heartening for us. We are especially proud to be a part of it and want to bring Architectural Salvage into the spotlight as a means for individuals and businesses to look upon salvage as a resource, as another means of reusing, reviving and reinventing and of course recycling.

Modern-day Rosie-the-Riveters, our salvage crew, does it all. They search for homes slated for demolition to collect the finest architectural pieces pre-dating the 1950's - personally removing the items themselves. Browse our vintage architectural collection tagged with its history and origin. Our inventory is ever-changing so come back again and again, or leave your request on our Search and Rescue page and we will contact you when we have found your item.
